US Space Force reveals 1st look at secretive X-37B space plane in orbit

Launched on December 28, 2023, atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, the X-37B is operating in a higher orbit than before, testing new technologies like aerobraking, which uses atmospheric drag to change orbit with minimal fuel, Space.com has reported.
